Radiesse, first called Radiance, received FDA clearance for the soft tissue of the vocal cords and for urinary incontinence originally. It is derived from calcium hydroxyl appetite, a component of bone. Many patients have reported lumps, bumps, migration and deformities with this product.
Radiesse needs to be injected deeper into the dermal area, where there is enough soft tissue to stimulate new collagen growth. Injections of Radiesse may be more painful than Restylane, Juvederm, or those fillers containing lidocaine, and a local anesthetic is usually used before injecting Radiesse. Restylane may provide a more natural look initially, but it used more for finer lines, and is not injected as deeply as Radiesse.
